2 cups of unsweetened almond milk or whatever non-dairy milk you like
1/2 cup of Vanilla Orgain protein powder (or 4 scoops) – 42 grams of protein, or use whatever protein powder you like, or you can leave it out completely
2 tablespoons flax seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 mashed bananas, medium sized
1/4 cup Jif No Sugar peanut butter, or you could use any creamy peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or Sun butter
2 cups rolled oats – I used Kodiak® Protein Classic Rolled Oats, which has 40 grams of protein, you can also use gluten-free oats if you want a gluten-free bake

Instructions How to Make This Easy Protein-Packed Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir to combine the almond milk, protein powder, flax seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, agave/maple syrup, salt, vanilla and baking powder and whisk it all together.
In a small bowl mash banana and mix with peanut butter, then add to the to the wet mixture and whisk until blended well.
Add the oats to the mixture and mix together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Add the chocolate and fold into mixture to distribute. Pour mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle the top of the oats with some extra chocolate chips and if you wish, some sliced bananas.
Place pan in oven and bake for 45 minutes or until set.
Once the mixture has cooled, slice and serve with maple syrup, agave, some Greek yogurt or a little almond milk or however you like! I like to warm my slice up in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before devouring! YUM!

Storing Your Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Bake

Fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Warm in microwave to heat for 30 seconds for a delicious cozy breakfast!
Freezer: If you want to freeze your oatmeal bake, cool completely and cut into slices and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper for up to 3 months.

Tips

Always use ripe bananas for maximum flavor! You can use dairy-free or sugar-free chocolate chips if you want to make your oatmeal dairy-free all the way!
Refrigerate baked oatmeal after baking and cooling it completely. Leaving it in an airtight container at room temperature may make the oatmeal mushy and it won’t last as long as it would refrigerated.
We added the flax seeds and chia seeds because it really takes this oatmeal to the next level of healthiness, but you are more than welcome to leave these out if you don’t have them on hand. It will still be a super healthy breakfast!
You can always make these into baked oatmeal cups but pouring the oatmeal mixture into muffin tins, optional with paper liners. Baking time will be considerably less.

Other Variations for New Recipes & Ideas for Your Baked Oatmeal

Fruit Oatmeal: Add 1 cup of any kind of fruits you like from strawberries, blueberries, apples, peaches, raspberries and more to your mixture and top with some extra fruit on top before baking.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal: Chop up 1 cup of Granny Smith Apples and add another teaspoon of cinnamon to your oatmeal mixture!
Chocolate Oatmeal: Just sub the vanilla protein powder and replace with chocolate protein powder! Add some mini chocolate chips to give it some extra chocolate flavor!
Nutty Oatmeal Raisin: Add 1 cup of raisins and some walnuts or pecans to your oatmeal and top with some melted white chocolate drizzles on top or you can mix 1/2 cup of organic powdered sugar with a tablespoon or more of some dairy-free milk and make a glaze for drizzling if desired.
Besides adding chia seeds and flax seeds, there are other options you can add in like hemp seeds, or any nut butter you like or nuts like walnuts, pecans, or pistachios or add some sliced strawberries or raspberries to your oatmeal for a fruity chocolate delight! The list is limitless!
